As a winter storm is expected to impact Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia beginning Tuesday night, some school districts are beginning to announce closures.
The National Hurricane Center gives guidance on projected forecast, status changes in the storm, and expected rainfall & storm surge totals. If you have any questions about a storm this will be where they get answered.
Action News Jax Chief Meteorologist Mike Buresh takes a deep dive into the day's forecast, and its impact on the next few days.
Chilly day ahead, winter storm expected to arrive Tuesday night • Starting off the day with some clouds in NE Florida and temperatures in the 30s • Many inland neighborhoods will dive down to freezing this morning through sunrise • MLK Day is turning partly sunny & cold with a bit of a breeze • We’ll be back near or just below freezing inland on Tuesday morning, clouds increase through the day • Rain begins Tuesday evening, then will turn to sleet/freezing rain along & west of Hwy 301 overnight • Tuesday night & Wednesday morning are a FIRST ALERT WEATHER DAY • Precip appears to be mostly snow farther north in SE GA • Sleet/Freezing rain accumulations will generally be a quarter to a half inch, snow accumulation less 3” • Travel could still be treacherous due to ice accumulation near the FL/GA border and into SE Georgia • Some isolated power and tree issues may arise if the ice accumulations go above 0.25" north and west of Jacksonville. • It’s possible that a few snow flurries form in Western Duval County if temps are colder than expected, but Jax should mainly see just rain & mix • It’s a cold rain for most of NE FL south of I-10 with the exception of some wintry mix inland • Please check & recheck the First Alert Forecast over the next 24-36 hours • Precipitation moves out fairly quickly Wednesday with temps well above freezing during the day (should help melt anything frozen) • A few showers move in on Thursday • It gets really cold again with widespread frost & freezes the second half of the week into the weekend MLK DAY: Partly to Sunny, Chilly.
